*Hugs Alpha in a very manly way*Me: All the love for my recaps...im not crying you are crying!
also me:
No Homo...
First and foremost, I think most will agree that this latest edition of Monday Night RAW was a shitshow and this is really sad considering the fact we supposidly had the "season premiere" just one week ago. It's like we went from what was supposed to be a fresh start back to the typical nonsense, only this time these people really went beyond themselves in terms of stupidity.
For one, it only took them a week to forget about the opening pyro, an added ingredient that I personally feel was dearly missed and much needed. To many this may be just a minor detail, but the pyro on the beginning of the show works as your energy boost, if you will, and basically is what should pump us all right from the getco and get us all excited for the show. To be fair, perhaps this week was an exception as they apparently tried to start in a different way, however neither the angle they opened with was good, nor was it appropriate.
To put it simple, this is a total waste of Bobby Lashley, who is once again inserted into a dumb story line that makes no sense, instead of being given a proper push and being presented as the monster heel he can very well be. It is furthermore a waste of Rusev (and Lana) and, most importantly, it is a waste of all of OUR time.
Even if I were to acknowledge the idea of WWE perhaps trying to be a bit more edgy, this isn't entertaining and, quite frankly, if it's sex and/or porn I'm looking for, God bless the internet there are countless places I can go to if I were to seek such entertainment. Oh, I'm sorry, is this supposed to be drama? Well, some channels still air the Bold and the Beautiful or Young & Restless for those interested...sigh...
On a more general note, this was obviously a filler show and, to an extent, I can understand it. Between the premiere of Smackdown on FOX, the Saudi Arabia show they are already promoting and the upcoming draft, I can see why WWE were hesitant to progress any story lines and just tried to get this three hour show out of the way. This, however, is not good enough of an excuse for what they overall presented, including the angle with Braun Strowman and the Gypsy King.
Interestingly enough, it took them two and a half hours (litereally less then 30 minutes before going off the air) to even mention anything regarding the Universal Championship which, last I checked, was the...most important fucking thing on the show??? Then again, how could they after the mess they made during Hell in Cell, in what was one of the worst finishes of all time?
In story line, it could have been an easy excuse that Seth didn't appear on RAW because of him selling his injuries (same perhaps goes for Bray) but they know how royally they fucked up and instead took the easy way out, thus keeping them both off the show to avoid even more backlash. Problem is, you can't hide them forever...
Furthermore, and since I heard about that twitter post that was then deleted, advertising a rematch for Survivor Series, my take is that this was probably the intended idea to begin with but, again, having fucked everything up at HIAC, perhaps WWE are reconsidering the idea, though based on the events that occured on the PPV, the rematch has to happen in order to get a conclusive finish and a decisive winner, that of course being the Fiend.
The stupidity, however, does not stop there. Why is it that Natalya went over yet again on RAW, after she already got her win at the PPV? Isn't it the idea to push the younger talent and get them over? Did Natalya gain anything by winning again? Of course not. Did Lacey Evans not only lose the match but any momentum she may have had? You damn right she did and while we at it, same probably applies to Sasha Banks, though in her case I can easily see it being a matter of her being drafted to Smackdown, hence the reason they decided not to give her the RAW title.
Street Prophets? Don't even get me started...Enough with this narrating bullshit already and how about we get to see those guys where they actually belong, as in INSIDE A FUCKING RING COMPETING...
Even a 3/10 feels too generous for this crap but whatever, I'm in a good mood....

So I found the clip of Asuka and Kairi Sane speaking Japanese before their and loosely translated it comes to this:
Asuka: "We are the Kabuki Warriors! Did you forget that we are the champions? Wait, you are a champion? You are a champion? Even if you two team up you can not beat us!”
Kairi: "Everything you said is spot on Asuka! Charlotte, Becky, I am sure you are tired, but we are going to beat the shit out of you!”
Asuka: "We are the Kabuki Warriors! Did you forget that we are the champions? Wait, you are a champion? You are a champion? Even if you two team up you can not beat us!”
Kairi: "Everything you said is spot on Asuka! Charlotte, Becky, I am sure you are tired, but we are going to beat the shit out of you!”

That actually sounds quite nice. Short and simple, yet effective. We need more more people to speak in foreign languages, that way WWE can't script it because they have no fucking idea what is actually being said.
